Europe, The Netherlands, Overijssel, Hengelo, Tuindorp, ROC van Twente (uncut)
The city of Hengelo is often called the 'metal city' because of its industrial facilities. The former foundry (ijzergieterij) of the Stork factory is shown here. It was constructed in 1902 and later was used for the maintenance of industrial appliances.
It served this purpose until the end of the 90s and was redeveloped into a school for professional education (ROC Twente) in 2009 by Harry Abels (IAA Architecten) and restoration architect Maarten Fritz (Architectenbureau Fritz).
Like we mostly do, we asked permission to enter. After gaining it (‘OK, but please leave after 5 minutes’), we walked into the astounding redeveloped industrial space. And met a security crew that looked at us somewhat dubiously. Time for a chat: ‘You’re out in force in today’ (there were 4 of them). ‘We’re here because of Corona’, and they told that they were astonished by the number of tourists that have started to visit the facility. ‘This is no tourist attraction’. ‘But you are !” and smiling I showed them a new leaflet ('Tuindorp-route') of the municipal tourist office (VVV) in which the building, its history, and architecture are featured.
We talked some more, and one of the guards told us that she knows the building well - her father had worked there, and during a holiday she had worked there too, as a temp.
This is number 216 of Urban frontiers and 385 of Interiors.

A closed shop-front (знання translates as 'knowledge') in Chernivtsi, Western Ukraine.
Named for the black ("cherny") oaken walls which surrounded the city until they were destroyed by the Mongol invasion of 1259, Chernivtsi has historically been a major cultural and education centre, and sits close to the Romanian and Moldovan borders. Like many parts of Western Ukraine, the city has been part of various nations and empires over the years, belonging to the Kingdom of Moldovia, the Austrian Empire, the Romanian empire, before becoming part of the Soviet states and finally independent Ukraine. The city is nicknamed "Little Vienna," because its architecture is reminiscent of the Austro-Hungarian capital.

I grew up with the knowledge that until THEY were over, the temperatures would still be unstable and UNPREDICTABLE!
And this year, they definitely did their reputation justice!
So, a few more days eh and, you can bring out in the garden all the frost susceptible plants and also annuals.
In late spring, the ICE SAINTS is the name for a number of Catholic saints , whose name days fall within the period from 11 to 15 May.
According to the meteorology people they are the last days in the year in which frost still may occur.
A sloppy interpretation of this folk wisdom has led to the misconception that a late spring with increased risk of frost would be.
Amongst the Ice Saints are considered:
Mamertus ( May 11 )
Pancras ( May 12 )
Servatius of Maastricht ( May 13 )
Boniface of Tarsus ( May 14 )
Sophia of Rome ( May 15 )
We came back from the Continent, I saw these in the garden, amongst the undergrowth, they were tiny and frail. View On proper Black
The little bells were tingelinging away in the cold wind, knowing they do not last very long... brought them in, they were ready for their close-up, lol!
STAY SAFE!
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

Exactly 30 years ago, my son found a present under the Christmas tree, a Lego Pirate Ship with a paper booklet with assembly instructions. Two days ago, my granddaughter found a Star Wars Ship under the Christmas tree, but with much more modern instructions. Of course she had to open the gift right away and start building.
HFF!

Knot
The Knot is a dumpy, short-legged, stocky wading bird. In winter, It is grey above and white below; in summer the chest, belly and face are brick-red.
Seen here on the shore at Hilbre Island which is the largest of a group of three islands at the mouth of the estuary of the River Dee, the border between England and Wales at this point.
This group of islands is cut off from the mainland by the tide for up to 5 hours out of every 12 hours. I had a great trip out with the Leigh Ornithological Society (LOS). Over 20 of us walked the 2 miles out to the island and spent the day there. A tougher walk back once the tide had gone out because of the strong head wind but the RNLI were there to make sure all returned safely to the mainland.
I very much appreciated the invitation by my friend Joan to join them for the day, grand company and my knowledge of birds has certainly improved thanks to this knowledgeable fun group!
Thank you Joan for your kind hospitality and a brilliant Hilbre Island experience. :))

For some people, the river is home. The place of escape, the place of freedom. Every time I hang out with Rok, my knowledge about nature increases. He recognizes almost every bird, every plant, and he can tell you a lot of interesting things about them. Fly fishing is one of his passions, right next to kayaking. He is also an olympic silver medalist and a very inspiring human being.
